Attachment 3 –HAIBP RFP 70RDND18R00000005

Oral Presentation Questions

1) Production Readiness: As noted in the proposed timeline for vendors that continue to the Low

Rate Initial Production Phase (LRIP) phase (Phase 2), the program seeks to have five (5) testable production representative HAIBP systems. How do you mitigate the risk that you will not meet this timeline?

2) Authority to Operate (ATO) Risk: As noted, any system that will be deployed at the

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) must first achieve an ATO. Our schedule includes vulnerability testing during LRIP. How would you proceed if a vulnerability is identified that would preclude certification? What would be your path forward if a part became obsolete during Full Rate

Production (FRP) and the Configuration Control Board (CCB) process identified a vulnerability at this stage?

3) Acquisition Innovation: If you were in charge of designing the HAIBP Government Solicitation, what changes would you make to the RFP that would enable industry to be positioned to rapidly develop and field innovative solutions? In reviewing the customized commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) approach, what aspects do you like and not like?

4)

a) Your presentation addresses innovative ideas. What metrics would be appropriate for verifying that your innovative ideas can be achieved in the six months available for the Initial Article Phase

(Phase 1)?

b) If unforeseen issues cause your innovation goals to not be met, (for instance the weight does not meet the goal threshold of 17 lbs) what is your plan to ensure a compliant prototype (KPP threshold: under 22lbs) will be provided on schedule?

Note: devices that are not provided in time to participate in scheduled testing will be disqualified.

5) What do you consider to be the three highest risks to your modification strategy and why? How do you plan to mitigate those risks?
